Gale Training

[00:00:05.059]
Thank you again everyone for being on the line

[00:00:07.280]
today. Today, we're talking about teaching

[00:00:09.659]
emotional essential life skills with

[00:00:12.028]
Gale in Context Elementary. My

[00:00:14.250]
name is Amber Winters and I am your

[00:00:16.379]
Gale training consultant for the day.

[00:00:20.318]
I have a quick agenda here. So first I just

[00:00:22.350]
want to briefly go over what Gall and Context

[00:00:24.518]
Elementary is to make sure we're all on the same

[00:00:26.690]
page.

[00:00:27.780]
We're going to walk through the content for the majority

[00:00:30.170]
of our time today though. So we're going to see where

[00:00:32.429]
we can find this great social, emotional

[00:00:34.917]
learning and life skills content.

[00:00:37.329]
We're going to talk about how you can utilize

[00:00:39.847]
that content. So some different strategies

[00:00:42.179]
when we're talking about the different content types

[00:00:44.319]
or the different tools within the resource, how you can

[00:00:46.408]
utilize those and leverage them in your classroom,

[00:00:49.618]
we're going to talk about some support materials just

[00:00:51.709]
to give you some extra inspiration. So

[00:00:53.810]
if you are planning on getting this information

[00:00:55.847]
out to your students, we have a lot of

[00:00:57.929]
premade material that can help you out with that.

[00:01:00.539]
And then at the end of the session, we should have

[00:01:02.548]
time for any questions, but feel free to put them

[00:01:04.698]
into the Q and A. As we move along

[00:01:06.858]
today, I should be able to answer them kind

[00:01:08.870]
of throughout the session. You shouldn't have to wait until the very end.

[00:01:11.260]
And then I have some wrap up contact information

[00:01:13.698]
for you at the very end as well.

[00:01:15.900]
So let's go ahead and just jump right in here. So, first

[00:01:18.209]
off Galen context elementary, if

[00:01:20.527]
you're new to it, if it's been a while is

[00:01:22.948]
you're going to be your resource for your K five

[00:01:25.180]
students. And it

[00:01:26.438]
includes quite a wide variety of content

[00:01:28.489]
everywhere from reference works

[00:01:30.519]
which we call book articles and ga context

[00:01:32.539]
elementary to make them a little bit more inviting

[00:01:34.854]
to newspapers and magazines. We have a great

[00:01:37.093]
set of images and video files

[00:01:39.275]
as well as different biographies and things like that.

[00:01:41.704]
And this is cross curricular. So today, of course,

[00:01:43.954]
we're focused on that social emotional learning

[00:01:46.253]
kind of section of the resource.

[00:01:48.775]
You will find information on science,

[00:01:50.973]
social studies

[00:01:52.793]
English

[00:01:54.598]
people, the world. It's

[00:01:56.650]
very, very cross curricular, art and music.

[00:01:59.039]
You'll find quite a bit of content for that as

[00:02:01.120]
well. And within this platform, we

[00:02:03.188]
do have both search and browse capabilities.

[00:02:05.290]
We're going to spend our time browsing

[00:02:07.299]
today. So you can see how easy it is to

[00:02:09.568]
really point and click down to the information that you

[00:02:11.649]
need, but we do have both

[00:02:13.938]
and our content we're going to take a look at today are

[00:02:16.117]
going to be great for Bell Ringers

[00:02:18.139]
for station learning. If you're planning on setting

[00:02:20.199]
up stations, it's great to

[00:02:22.500]
either print off of this resource or

[00:02:24.520]
to just have this resource set open

[00:02:26.710]
in a station for students. It's really easy for them

[00:02:28.800]
to navigate independently.

[00:02:31.188]
Also, of course, as you could imagine,

[00:02:33.389]
great for project research. That's a lot

[00:02:35.460]
of times what we think of when we think about this resource.

[00:02:37.867]
But there's so much more than just project

[00:02:40.050]
research, also great for group discussions

[00:02:42.449]
and things like that.

[00:02:44.000]
It especially comes in handy if you have this

[00:02:46.258]
link to a learning management system

[00:02:48.300]
or if you have access to Google, Google

[00:02:50.579]
classroom, you can actually send content

[00:02:52.788]
directly from this platform to wherever

[00:02:55.139]
you're instructing your students. So

[00:02:57.188]
that just gives you another layer of connectivity

[00:02:59.399]
with this resource, you'll really be able to get

[00:03:01.628]
it into the, the hands of your students really

[00:03:03.688]
simply.

[00:03:06.348]
So again, today, we're talking about the different

[00:03:08.429]
emotional and social essential

[00:03:10.490]
life skills that we want to teach

[00:03:12.520]
our students. So we're going to be

[00:03:14.527]
using the topic tree navigation today

[00:03:16.617]
when we do jump into the resource and

[00:03:18.800]
this is going to move students forward

[00:03:20.929]
just point, see a clicking. So this is really great.

[00:03:23.044]
Again, if you're maybe having them work independently

[00:03:25.675]
or if they're working at home and you want them to access

[00:03:27.723]
this content, you don't need to worry about them

[00:03:29.813]
building their own search terms, which they may not

[00:03:31.824]
be ready for just yet. They can point

[00:03:33.875]
and click and narrow it down to exactly what they're looking

[00:03:35.954]
for. Specifically

[00:03:38.149]
when we're talking about our emotional and

[00:03:40.210]
social learning information that's

[00:03:42.538]
all found within our health topic. We've kind

[00:03:44.668]
of included all of that there. So not

[00:03:47.079]
only personal health, so physical and mental,

[00:03:49.149]
but also relationship health. We've kind of all

[00:03:51.240]
included that right into our health category

[00:03:54.110]
and that is found right on the home page. So your

[00:03:56.128]
students will be able to immediately see where they need

[00:03:58.179]
to click into.

[00:03:59.378]
And once they do click into that health topic, you'll see,

[00:04:01.550]
we've added another layer of

[00:04:03.679]
point and click selection to

[00:04:05.908]
our topic trees where they're going to be able to narrow down

[00:04:08.438]
even further. So they're in this health

[00:04:10.520]
section, but maybe they want to learn about getting

[00:04:12.800]
along with each other or maybe they're more

[00:04:14.878]
concerned about their emotions and kind of how

[00:04:16.920]
they're feeling internally.

[00:04:18.807]
They'll be able to find all of that content and

[00:04:21.209]
you'll be able to find all of that content right?

[00:04:23.329]
In this really simple and easy to navigate

[00:04:25.608]
topic tree

[00:04:26.858]
and each of these topics are broken down into

[00:04:28.987]
topic pages as well. We'll take a look at

[00:04:31.038]
that in the resource. They really organize

[00:04:33.367]
everything we have available for students. They're going to get

[00:04:35.437]
a nice topic overview. If we have

[00:04:37.528]
book articles, they'll see those, they'll see images,

[00:04:39.627]
they'll see related topics. It's

[00:04:41.798]
a really nice one stop shop

[00:04:44.048]
for whatever you're planning on doing in your classroom.

[00:04:48.750]
So let's go and take a look. Let's see how we can

[00:04:50.838]
use this content, how we can find it.

[00:04:54.290]
All that good stuff. I haven't seen questions

[00:04:56.350]
pop up here

[00:04:58.737]
um in the Q and A but I will

[00:05:00.750]
pass for just one second here. Are there any questions

[00:05:02.970]
about just that very brief overview

[00:05:05.079]
we just touched on?

[00:05:08.778]
OK, I don't see any. So let's go ahead

[00:05:10.920]
and get started then. So this is our Gain Context

[00:05:13.220]
elementary home page. I'm

[00:05:15.269]
sure most of you are already familiar.

[00:05:17.470]
So go ahead, let's go ahead and scroll down here.

[00:05:19.588]
And as I mentioned, we're stopping to today, we're starting

[00:05:21.660]
today at our health section. That's where we're going to

[00:05:23.670]
find all of that social and emotional

[00:05:25.858]
learning content.

[00:05:27.459]
So when I click into health here,

[00:05:29.389]
I'm just taking to my second level of my topic

[00:05:31.720]
tree. So again, we saw this on my slide.

[00:05:34.069]
This is giving me more options to see exactly

[00:05:36.420]
what I'm looking for.

[00:05:38.319]
So let's today. Um Let's worry about

[00:05:40.420]
getting along with others. Maybe that's our, you know, that we're

[00:05:42.439]
starting here.

[00:05:43.889]
So once I jump down to that next level of

[00:05:45.980]
content now is we're going to find

[00:05:48.108]
some really specific topics here.

[00:05:50.119]
You'll see things like body language, bullying,

[00:05:52.769]
different relationships that we're talking

[00:05:54.959]
about to understanding others. But what

[00:05:57.048]
I want to point out on this page

[00:05:59.088]
is this, I wonder question down

[00:06:01.139]
here at the bottom. These are really

[00:06:03.410]
excellent for Bell Ringers.

[00:06:05.699]
You can either copy this question and, you know, post

[00:06:07.987]
it yourself or you can have your students

[00:06:10.230]
pull up the resource on

[00:06:12.278]
their computers or their desks and they can

[00:06:14.379]
take a look at this, I wonder they can write out their

[00:06:16.389]
answer

[00:06:17.369]
and they can hit this find out. So maybe

[00:06:19.459]
they want to answer first or maybe they want to find

[00:06:21.677]
out first. But when they select, find

[00:06:23.798]
out it pulls them

[00:06:25.987]
forward to this page, whatever page is related

[00:06:28.189]
to the question

[00:06:29.480]
and they'll be able to read through and

[00:06:31.528]
answer that question.

[00:06:33.439]
So a really simple way to get them engaged

[00:06:35.720]
with the content. It's right there

[00:06:38.230]
on the bottom of that page for them

[00:06:40.189]
and it does change periodically. So I

[00:06:42.209]
do suggest um having all

[00:06:44.290]
of your students sign in at the same time and taking

[00:06:46.329]
a look at the same time. I think it's especially

[00:06:48.790]
helpful just to have it on your front board.

[00:06:50.829]
So you have your smart board, you're projecting

[00:06:53.170]
to whatever you're projecting to have this

[00:06:55.290]
pulled up and your students will be able to answer

[00:06:57.899]
and you can even find out together what's

[00:06:59.939]
what different answers are available for them.

[00:07:03.660]
Well, let's go ahead and click into one of these topics

[00:07:05.759]
here. We'll work as a team

[00:07:08.040]
today. That's always a, a

[00:07:10.199]
difficult seat when

[00:07:12.250]
we're talking about elementary kiddos is getting

[00:07:14.298]
them to start working in healthy teams.

[00:07:16.319]
So here we are, this is

[00:07:18.329]
our topic page. So I want

[00:07:20.519]
to mention that I can actually get a link directly

[00:07:22.899]
to this topic page. I can actually

[00:07:25.108]
get a link to any page within this resource.

[00:07:27.160]
So if I want to just

[00:07:29.319]
start students off on their learning on this

[00:07:31.379]
page, maybe I don't want them clicking all the way through

[00:07:33.540]
the resource. I know what content I content

[00:07:35.920]
I want them to see and I want them to get there quickly.

[00:07:38.987]
I can use this, get link of top here,

[00:07:41.028]
my toolbar

[00:07:42.778]
and I can get a persistent URL to this page.

[00:07:45.689]
So I can really easily copy and paste

[00:07:47.709]
this maybe in a discussion board,

[00:07:49.959]
maybe on a syllabus. If you're going to have

[00:07:52.269]
students utilizing this in a project,

[00:07:54.778]
I could even, you know, send it out to parents.

[00:07:56.869]
Maybe I want parents to take a look at this page

[00:07:58.980]
and help their students at home.

[00:08:00.949]
I can use this, get link and get a link to any page.

[00:08:04.209]
So back me up just quickly if I decided,

[00:08:06.850]
um I wanted to jump back to this option

[00:08:09.160]
here. I wanted them to see all of the different topics

[00:08:11.689]
related to getting along with others.

[00:08:14.250]
I can be on this page again,

[00:08:16.540]
use that link in the same spot.

[00:08:18.730]
I know they can be bumped here

[00:08:20.769]
and this may be great if you want students to find their

[00:08:22.910]
own topic.

[00:08:24.449]
So if you want them to start exploring on their own, maybe they're going

[00:08:26.649]
to be working in groups, each group is going to

[00:08:28.689]
take an individual topic and

[00:08:30.869]
then they're going to come together and share out after

[00:08:32.918]
or again. If you're planning on doing something like

[00:08:35.009]
stations, you can have this pulled forward

[00:08:37.399]
just again, a really nice way to get this content

[00:08:39.599]
out to your students. But let's stick with

[00:08:41.658]
working as a team here.

[00:08:44.440]
So just briefly this topic page, I'm gonna

[00:08:46.557]
point out some of the key features before we jump

[00:08:48.778]
right in here. So you'll see, we get some quick

[00:08:50.950]
facts about whatever topic we're looking

[00:08:53.009]
at. And then underneath, we see all of the

[00:08:55.057]
different content types that are related

[00:08:57.219]
to this specific topic here.

[00:08:59.840]
So you'll see, we have our book articles, those are

[00:09:02.028]
reference works. So shorter reference pieces,

[00:09:04.719]
we call them book articles just to make it a little more inviting

[00:09:07.677]
if your learning

[00:09:09.807]
community has access to Gale ebooks

[00:09:12.129]
and you have elementary leveled ebooks.

[00:09:14.158]
Those will also appear here as well.

[00:09:16.298]
So you'll see, I have a few ebooks that are

[00:09:18.418]
attached to my Gale Ebooks account that

[00:09:20.489]
are going to populate here for me as well. So I can

[00:09:22.639]
actually log into a full ebook right from

[00:09:24.769]
Gale and Context Elementary.

[00:09:27.330]
You'll see. We've got some pictures, we have a nice

[00:09:29.460]
video about supporting each other. So

[00:09:31.538]
you will find some social emotional

[00:09:33.889]
learning video content here as well.

[00:09:36.057]
If I click into this here, I'm just going to

[00:09:38.239]
pause it and we're not going to play through it.

[00:09:40.399]
But you'll see, this is a short one, this is a minute

[00:09:42.840]
and 25 seconds. So a really nice

[00:09:44.918]
quick way to get some information over to

[00:09:47.019]
students again. And a really nice

[00:09:49.048]
bell ringer just to play this nice

[00:09:51.190]
short video and have students maybe answer some questions

[00:09:53.580]
that you have assigned to them.

[00:09:55.479]
You'll see underneath the video itself. We do

[00:09:57.489]
include um the full

[00:09:59.500]
transcript here. So if students need the transcript,

[00:10:02.019]
we have that we also have closed captioning

[00:10:04.460]
on all of our videos here as well.

[00:10:09.129]
So let's go ahead and jump back

[00:10:11.840]
at the very bottom of these topic pages. We also

[00:10:13.918]
include related topics. So if your

[00:10:16.158]
students are working independently and you want

[00:10:18.278]
them to kind of continue learning on their own,

[00:10:20.658]
this related topics may be a good place

[00:10:22.677]
for them to go as well. So they kind of understand

[00:10:25.129]
working as a team now.

[00:10:27.450]
So maybe they also want to consider um avoiding

[00:10:30.019]
conflict, obviously, that's directly related

[00:10:32.259]
to working in a team. So maybe they want to jump to that

[00:10:34.418]
topic now.

[00:10:37.869]
But let me scroll up here. I'm just going to hit

[00:10:40.048]
keep reading, which is going to launch me into this

[00:10:42.129]
overview. It's going to pull forward the full text

[00:10:46.070]
and let's talk just a little bit on how we can use

[00:10:48.389]
an article within our classrooms here.

[00:10:50.519]
So I do want to show you a few different ways to

[00:10:52.849]
really make this content as accessible

[00:10:55.057]
as possible for students before we talk about

[00:10:57.090]
some teaching strategies.

[00:10:58.750]
So if you have students who need

[00:11:00.820]
excuse me,

[00:11:03.109]
um some additional support with their reading,

[00:11:05.590]
we have the ability to increase

[00:11:08.190]
and decrease the font size here. Scroll

[00:11:10.609]
down, you can see that

[00:11:13.700]
we also have the option to translate this

[00:11:15.719]
article.

[00:11:18.729]
So a lot of schools of course, have

[00:11:20.750]
a, a large Spanish speaking

[00:11:22.798]
population, you can translate

[00:11:24.908]
this to Spanish. I know a lot of places

[00:11:26.969]
I'm located in Michigan. So a lot of places

[00:11:29.250]
especially in Southeast Michigan

[00:11:31.710]
have a large student population who speaks Arabic.

[00:11:34.109]
So you can also translate to Arabic and

[00:11:36.173]
you'll see quite a few different language options

[00:11:38.375]
here as well.

[00:11:39.705]
So you can if you decide maybe to print

[00:11:41.802]
out this article for your students,

[00:11:43.974]
you could translate and maybe print some in Spanish,

[00:11:46.173]
maybe print them in English. You'll have that

[00:11:48.264]
capability here on the platform.

[00:11:51.519]
We also have these great display options here.

[00:11:53.940]
So again, if you have students who need

[00:11:56.038]
special support as they're reading, maybe

[00:11:58.210]
they need a background color to help them out.

[00:12:00.690]
Maybe they want a different font. You'll see, we do have

[00:12:02.908]
a dyslexia font. So if you're working with dyslexic

[00:12:05.418]
students or just students who have trouble

[00:12:07.580]
reading in general, this font may be helpful

[00:12:09.960]
for them

[00:12:10.840]
and then you'll see if we can change the line letter word spacing.

[00:12:13.927]
So this is really nice to kind of prep before

[00:12:16.427]
you work with your students. You'll see now it's quite

[00:12:18.778]
a bit different than when it started off as

[00:12:20.820]
so this is great to prep before you even

[00:12:22.927]
get started. So, you know, your students, best

[00:12:24.940]
of course, if you're working with a group

[00:12:26.969]
of students who are maybe struggling readers,

[00:12:28.989]
you may want to have all of this accessibility

[00:12:31.940]
feature turned on and ready to go for them before

[00:12:33.989]
you even start reading and, and have it ready.

[00:12:36.927]
I'm gonna turn it all off for today

[00:12:39.080]
back to my default settings

[00:12:41.288]
and these

[00:12:43.307]
accessibility tools,

[00:12:45.739]
sorry if I'm trying, I thought there these accessibility

[00:12:48.080]
tools do follow along as you move

[00:12:50.119]
forward through the session. So

[00:12:52.379]
if you're having students maybe read more than one

[00:12:54.418]
article. Once you have your parameters

[00:12:56.778]
set, you have all your features set, it will follow

[00:12:58.820]
along for them.

[00:13:02.509]
So another accessibility feature I want

[00:13:04.590]
to point out is our leveling options

[00:13:07.557]
you'll see at the very top of my page here.

[00:13:09.769]
I have the option to view a level one or

[00:13:11.989]
level two version of this

[00:13:14.090]
document. If I click into level one,

[00:13:18.528]
oops, looks like it signed me out

[00:13:20.629]
because I left it sitting

[00:13:22.177]
in my browser here. There we go. So

[00:13:24.307]
I started off here and I just selected level

[00:13:26.450]
one here on the left hand side. It's

[00:13:28.469]
going to pull forward a lower level of content

[00:13:31.109]
and our levels

[00:13:32.798]
are a stick with level two.

[00:13:34.538]
Um Our levels are based

[00:13:36.649]
on Lexa Ranges. So if you want to see the actual

[00:13:39.359]
lea of a document that you're planning on working on

[00:13:41.830]
with students,

[00:13:43.229]
you can go to this little article info button

[00:13:45.668]
in this right hand corner here

[00:13:49.000]
and it gives you the flex measure dropdown. So

[00:13:51.090]
you'll see you have two different options for this article.

[00:13:53.859]
Of course, one is at that higher level and one is at

[00:13:55.950]
that lower, you can toggle here as well.

[00:13:58.788]
So again, if you're trying to differentiate, maybe you do

[00:14:00.849]
have stations set up and you want some stations

[00:14:03.229]
to read the lower level of content. And

[00:14:05.239]
maybe you have some students who are excelling who

[00:14:07.288]
are may be ready to take a look at the higher level of content.

[00:14:09.989]
You can differentiate which students see what

[00:14:12.129]
piece of content and they're going to get the same information

[00:14:15.119]
just in a few different methods. So I

[00:14:17.139]
think this is a really nice feature for you as Well,

[00:14:19.798]
if you are working with a pretty diverse

[00:14:22.090]
group of students, we are trying to help

[00:14:24.359]
you here to have some different reading

[00:14:26.399]
levels.

[00:14:29.269]
But now let's

[00:14:31.288]
go ahead and take a look at this article here. So let me spur it onto

[00:14:33.418]
the actual text. I will point out you'll see. Sometimes

[00:14:35.940]
we have things like words to know, you

[00:14:38.070]
may want to bring to your students attention.

[00:14:40.450]
You see down here, we have an activity

[00:14:42.599]
available here as well.

[00:14:44.719]
If I go into my level two,

[00:14:46.690]
they'll most likely be slightly different. You'll see this has

[00:14:48.788]
main ideas,

[00:14:50.349]
this one has another activity, but it's a little bit

[00:14:52.719]
more advanced activities. So

[00:14:54.840]
these are often times helpful for you. So

[00:14:56.979]
if you're looking for a quick, you know,

[00:14:59.580]
quick activity to run in your class,

[00:15:01.639]
I recommend clicking into some of our articles. A lot

[00:15:03.750]
of times you will find we call them

[00:15:05.778]
sidebars even though they're in the middle of the page.

[00:15:07.960]
you may find activities, you also might

[00:15:10.070]
find things like critical thinking questions that you can

[00:15:12.200]
post to your students. So you find

[00:15:14.229]
a lot of

[00:15:15.099]
activity work kind of embedded within

[00:15:17.219]
our articles. But what I want to talk

[00:15:19.389]
about is close reading.

[00:15:21.629]
We actually have a, a great feature, our highlights

[00:15:23.849]
and notes feature that make it really helpful

[00:15:26.009]
if you're planning on close reading as a group.

[00:15:28.399]
So what we've seen a lot of educators do is

[00:15:30.479]
pull up whatever article they want to read with their

[00:15:32.750]
students. And of course they can pull it up

[00:15:35.129]
on their smart board or whatever projector

[00:15:37.427]
they're using. Or of course they can have students pull

[00:15:39.489]
it up individually.

[00:15:40.940]
I think it's most beneficial to pull it up on

[00:15:43.070]
the smart board and then work together. So you'll

[00:15:45.278]
start to read through this article

[00:15:47.639]
and you can ask students, let me know when you think

[00:15:49.710]
a piece of content or when you

[00:15:51.830]
think a sentence is really important and we're

[00:15:53.859]
going to highlight it

[00:15:55.149]
so we can run through. And you know, Timmy

[00:15:57.580]
told me that this sentence was really

[00:15:59.639]
helpful. So we're gonna highlight

[00:16:01.788]
that in purple

[00:16:03.239]
as you're reading through. Maybe Mary says,

[00:16:05.298]
wow, this, this sentence is really,

[00:16:07.320]
really important to what we're reading. This is giving us

[00:16:09.769]
maybe the the main points of this

[00:16:11.840]
page, we can highlight that again,

[00:16:14.729]
maybe I have another student who's saying, I don't

[00:16:16.908]
really understand what the sentence is.

[00:16:19.119]
So maybe that's going to be highlighted in yellow

[00:16:21.489]
and we can come back and kind of kind

[00:16:24.349]
of dig deeper into this sentence to see

[00:16:26.389]
exactly what it means. So this is a really

[00:16:28.859]
nice way to get students engaged in the

[00:16:30.950]
text instead of just reading through it, they're

[00:16:33.153]
going through their highlighting the key points.

[00:16:36.104]
Maybe they're highlighting things they don't quite understand.

[00:16:38.854]
And again, this can be done together as a large

[00:16:41.274]
group where the teacher is herself

[00:16:44.075]
is highlighting the bit of information

[00:16:46.293]
that students point out or it can be done

[00:16:48.474]
individually

[00:16:50.219]
and students can have to point it out on their own.

[00:16:54.080]
And if we are using this method where we're highlighting

[00:16:56.340]
and kind of keeping this information, may

[00:16:58.619]
we may want to keep those for later or maybe

[00:17:00.739]
students will be turning that into you.

[00:17:02.690]
So we have a few different collaborative tools that

[00:17:04.798]
may be helpful. So you can actually send

[00:17:06.867]
this over to Google classroom. You'll see my Google

[00:17:09.028]
classroom icon up top here.

[00:17:11.239]
So if you want to send all the information that way,

[00:17:13.948]
I'm not signed in, so I won't sign in today.

[00:17:16.107]
But you see it pops up into this little

[00:17:18.178]
window, you'll be able to create an

[00:17:20.538]
assignment, ask a question. Anything

[00:17:22.586]
you would be able to do within the native Google

[00:17:24.659]
classroom interface and you'll be able to post

[00:17:26.916]
it or you can

[00:17:28.989]
choose you or your students can choose

[00:17:31.096]
to send over to a Google drive or

[00:17:33.307]
a one drive and sending over to these drives does

[00:17:35.458]
keep the highlights along with the article.

[00:17:37.538]
So if you do assign students to

[00:17:39.607]
maybe highlighting the key points of an article

[00:17:41.739]
or highlighting the things that can, they confuse

[00:17:44.140]
them that they found most interesting,

[00:17:46.337]
you can have them send it over to a drive or

[00:17:48.538]
you can have it, you can have them email it to

[00:17:50.597]
you. If you have your email address

[00:17:52.650]
handy, you prefer that

[00:17:54.209]
it does again keep those highlights

[00:17:56.357]
and they can send that over to you.

[00:17:59.317]
This can also be downloaded or printed.

[00:18:01.739]
So again, if you prefer to have a hard copy,

[00:18:04.259]
you have that ability here.

[00:18:06.500]
But it's a really nice way to keep this.

[00:18:09.719]
So once we have all of this set, we

[00:18:11.739]
do kind of aggregate all of our highlights

[00:18:14.067]
and notes together on one page as well.

[00:18:16.729]
So if you want to take a look at that as a class,

[00:18:18.808]
we have them nice and neatly organized in a chart.

[00:18:21.567]
If you click into our highlights and notes option here,

[00:18:25.827]
you'll see what I have highlighted, but I'm going to hit

[00:18:27.949]
you all

[00:18:31.180]
and now we'll see the different sentences we have highlighted.

[00:18:33.640]
We'll see there are different highlight colors and we

[00:18:35.650]
can add notes here.

[00:18:37.278]
This is a great way just to have students

[00:18:39.357]
kind of see the overall view

[00:18:41.680]
of an article. This is really nice. If you want

[00:18:44.058]
to help students learn how to summarize

[00:18:46.298]
information, you can tell them, you know, highlights

[00:18:48.778]
the pieces of this text that are most important

[00:18:51.160]
that are going to give someone who's not

[00:18:53.317]
reading the actual text and understanding of

[00:18:55.357]
what it's saying. So they can highlight,

[00:18:57.410]
pull forward into this highlights and notes

[00:18:59.538]
option and they'll be able to

[00:19:01.617]
just read what they highlighted to see if it

[00:19:03.660]
really does make sense to see if they really

[00:19:05.719]
did summarize the text,

[00:19:08.827]
you'll see they can label their highlights as well.

[00:19:11.019]
So if they want to label these maybe

[00:19:13.337]
you'll see, I have a few different labels they've already used.

[00:19:15.597]
maybe they highlighted the introduction

[00:19:17.847]
of something. They can choose the highlights

[00:19:19.890]
and list that here. Um Again, if they

[00:19:22.000]
may be confused about something,

[00:19:26.327]
they can just note that here. And again,

[00:19:28.449]
they can save this for themselves.

[00:19:30.617]
They can choose to send this over somewhere if

[00:19:32.689]
they want to send it to their drives or if maybe they want

[00:19:34.769]
to email it to you,

[00:19:37.759]
they can download or they can print right here as

[00:19:39.817]
well. So this is another great way to

[00:19:41.867]
just have them kind of talk to the text

[00:19:43.969]
and pull it apart and really understand

[00:19:46.259]
what exactly it's trying to say

[00:19:48.910]
and then clicking into it. They can easily get

[00:19:50.920]
right back here

[00:19:52.439]
to this main page and make edits. However

[00:19:54.680]
they want to do that.

[00:19:57.808]
I want to jump back into my presentation

[00:20:00.048]
slides because of a few different bits

[00:20:02.160]
of inspiration for activities that I hope

[00:20:04.209]
will help you get this content to

[00:20:06.390]
your students. So do you have any questions

[00:20:08.949]
just about the content we took a look at or

[00:20:10.969]
a few of those different tools we explored?

[00:20:16.449]
OK. I don't see any. So I quickly

[00:20:18.900]
want to mention we have a lot of pre

[00:20:21.058]
creative activities already found

[00:20:23.229]
on our support site, which is support.gale.com

[00:20:25.347]


[00:20:26.577]
And while a lot of these activities aren't specifically

[00:20:29.009]
focused on social and emotional learning,

[00:20:31.288]
they give you kind of a great template if you want

[00:20:33.479]
to get your students involved using that kind

[00:20:35.788]
of option. So the

[00:20:37.910]
first we have is a scavenger hunt. We have

[00:20:40.298]
a huge collection of scavenger hunts.

[00:20:42.558]
but these are great teams just to start up

[00:20:44.577]
as well. So if you want to have a scavenger hunt, maybe

[00:20:46.827]
about emotions or something like that,

[00:20:48.930]
you go ahead and edit this to include just content

[00:20:51.288]
related to emotions.

[00:20:53.719]
Another great way to get this content into your

[00:20:55.798]
classroom is using an escape room and

[00:20:57.920]
we do have a full blank escape

[00:21:00.097]
room on our support site for you. So

[00:21:02.209]
again, as you look for this specific

[00:21:04.597]
content you want, maybe it is working with the

[00:21:06.607]
team, maybe it's conflict resolution.

[00:21:09.009]
Maybe it's perspective taking,

[00:21:11.209]
you can build a full escape room around

[00:21:13.327]
that using the template we already have created on

[00:21:15.390]
the support site. So no reinventing

[00:21:17.880]
the wheel for you.

[00:21:19.788]
You also might want to consider trading cards.

[00:21:21.867]
We use those for a lot of different

[00:21:23.900]
topics within the resource. So you'll

[00:21:26.038]
see this one here. I pulled forward is just for solar

[00:21:28.170]
systems, but it could also be great for

[00:21:30.327]
emotions, you know, anger, sadness,

[00:21:32.519]
happiness, excitement.

[00:21:34.140]
And then on the back, you'll have them fill out

[00:21:36.250]
whatever information you want them to fill out.

[00:21:38.923]
When do people feel angry? How do people

[00:21:40.982]
express their anger?

[00:21:42.442]
And it's also a great idea to have them cite

[00:21:44.452]
their sources on the backs of these

[00:21:46.702]
trading cards as well. Within

[00:21:49.045]
the resource, we actually have a citation tool

[00:21:51.094]
where students could just click and get that citation

[00:21:53.462]
create, created for them.

[00:21:55.025]
It's an excellent way to have them practice citing

[00:21:57.183]
sources.

[00:21:58.709]
So nice, simple trading cards

[00:22:01.430]
and we also have things you'll see. This one here is

[00:22:03.479]
focused specifically on bullying. So this

[00:22:05.630]
one is kind of pulling forward that social

[00:22:07.808]
emotional learning, those life skills.

[00:22:10.219]
This one's in just an article

[00:22:12.367]
article report like a book report,

[00:22:14.390]
they find an article within Galan context elementary

[00:22:16.910]
that's about bullying

[00:22:18.739]
and then they read through the article, they

[00:22:20.778]
go over the why of the article, the

[00:22:22.857]
what did you learn? Reflections? And

[00:22:25.009]
then you see this one also has a class presentation

[00:22:27.630]
set up as well.

[00:22:29.890]
So these are just a few different ways that you can kind

[00:22:32.097]
of get in contact elementary

[00:22:34.327]
into your classroom. Instead of just

[00:22:36.607]
focusing on research projects.

[00:22:38.617]
Of course, we want your students to

[00:22:40.630]
use this for their research. Always, always.

[00:22:42.788]
But it also offers quite

[00:22:44.900]
a few different activity options to really

[00:22:47.048]
engage students electronically

[00:22:49.538]
as opposed to strictly

[00:22:51.548]
on paper. So

[00:22:53.910]
quite a few different new options for you

[00:22:55.920]
to take a look at there

[00:22:59.650]
and that's what I have for you today. We do have

[00:23:01.699]
a few minutes left. So I would love to answer questions,

[00:23:04.430]
that anyone may have left over again.

[00:23:06.808]
If you're looking for some more specific

[00:23:08.890]
activity suggestions, we do have

[00:23:11.028]
our support site where you can find those. So

[00:23:13.140]
if you want to pull that, blank

[00:23:15.824]
escape room, if you're planning and running in emotions,

[00:23:18.144]
escape room or a teamwork escape room,

[00:23:20.505]
you'll find that on our support site as well as

[00:23:22.634]
scavenger hunts. all that good

[00:23:24.765]
stuff, support.gale.com

[00:23:26.814]
I definitely recommend taking a look

[00:23:28.903]
if you do have the time.

[00:23:31.489]
If you have more questions about this or maybe

[00:23:33.827]
about Gale and contact elementary, just

[00:23:36.087]
in general, you can reach out to your customer

[00:23:38.288]
success manager. If you don't know who it is,

[00:23:40.650]
just send an email to [email protected]

[00:23:42.890]
and they can help you

[00:23:44.949]
out. They can also work with you

[00:23:47.009]
to take a look at the support site. If you want to take a look

[00:23:49.180]
at the materials we have available, to

[00:23:51.298]
really integrate this into your lessons.

[00:23:53.489]
You can certainly do that

[00:23:55.140]
if you don't have access to Gale and Context

[00:23:57.327]
elementary right now, but you're interested, reach

[00:23:59.558]
out to your sales consultant. If you don't know

[00:24:01.587]
who they are, you can send I'm sorry,

[00:24:03.630]
you can go to support.gale.com/repfinder

[00:24:05.788]
and you'll be

[00:24:07.808]
forwarded to the correct individual and you can talk about

[00:24:10.009]
this resource with them, or maybe talk

[00:24:12.140]
about your gale ebooks and how you can get those integrated

[00:24:14.597]
within gale and context elementary.

[00:24:17.798]
And finally, I do have a quick session survey

[00:24:20.160]
here. If you have the time to take it, I have a QR

[00:24:22.500]
code posted. It's also going

[00:24:24.538]
to pop up in your browser once we're done here for

[00:24:26.680]
the day. But I would love for you to take that

[00:24:28.817]
just so we can make sure that we're always

[00:24:31.038]
kind of hitting what you're looking for

[00:24:33.117]
when you join these sessions. We want to make sure

[00:24:35.269]
that you're getting the content that you need.
